Big day
Brake lines all done
Throttle done
Glove box ready to swage and weld.
I got a cad plating kit off caswell industries i will go thru the bolts and washers in the car to get them all silver as some are gold.
 













And the new helper .
Finally got another dog still not over the old fella but she was on death row at the pound.
Great dog wont leave my side.

I had all intentions of running my new lenses in the guages .
U water jet cut the glass
Then laser etched it.
Broke 1 assembling it so lucky i had a spare and fitted that.
Woke up this morning and it was broken.
So i had a mint screen printed one so i fitted that.
I will have a new pair screen printed in the original pale green onto the glass.
Re oiled and got the speedo running sweet.
I really like the colours in ghe guages.
